Capt. w. r. P. Bell has made arrange
ments to remove the. Kings Mountain
Military Institute to the progressive town

In a few days Mr.. NJ. N. Amis," of
the Raleigh bar, will have before the
public his literary production entitled the
"City Of Raleigh" This is Mr.. Amis'
third production. We have seen a pros

works, it is a success.
We see that Gov. Gordon will ask
the Legislature of Georgia to abolish the
leasing of convicts. We hope our next
legislature will be composed of men who

labor IS not given array. The tax payers
want that labor on our public roads.
We see that the large milk contract
ors around Boston have formed a COM
bination with 100000 capital to crush

part Of capital is to make the rich;richer
and the poor poorer: Monopoly is the
slogan Of the hour.
We are glad to see that Mr.. E. B..
Warren, of Texas, Secretary of the Farm

We are gratitied to see that a COM
pany will organize with a capital stock Of
$500, 900, to work the Brown Stone
quarries near Wadesboro. At the Cen

this stone was pronounced as fine as any

cities of country. 1t dresses and polishes
beautifully. -
Our wide-awake neighbor, the To-
bacco Plant is after the farmers of Dur
ham in regard to amass-meeting proposed
by Mr.. B. Cameron some weeks since.
That's right, Bro. Burkhead, keep it be-
fore them. But just after the adjourn
ment Of the Atlanta Convention you

your progressive town. They have not
forgotten it, but are only waiting for the
best time. -.>.>
